Will is an excellent photographer and a great teacher as well. I learnt a lot about composition and post processing from him. He is also quite fun to hang out with! I totally recommend his workshops and photography tours.

I recently attended one of William Patino’s courses and his latest webinar jam session, and the experience blew me away. William is a skilled photographer, passionate teacher, and artist. His love for his craft shines through in every word, making the learning process both inspiring and practical.

What I appreciated was his honesty and transparency. William gets straight to the point, sharing actionable insights and real-world examples that are easy to understand and implement. His teaching style is approachable, and he has a rare talent for breaking down complex concepts in a way that clicks.

It’s clear that he genuinely cares about his students and their growth. His passion for photography and education makes him stand out, and his dedication to helping others improve is genuinely admirable.

If you’re looking for a teacher who is as talented as he is passionate, I can’t recommend William Patino’s courses and webinars enough. A top-notch experience all around!

William's class on composition allows us to follow him as he analyzes the scene to find the best composition. He takes one through the entire process, not just here is a good solution. Sometimes it takes work to find the best composition. As we followed William in the forest scene, he tried various compositions and eliminated many for failure to satisfy the SLAB requirements. If you don't know the term, take his course. Don H

I had difficulty setting up the software. I'm 73 and don't remember all I did years ago about computers but customer service got me through my problem.

They were very patient and had to explain things to me a few times before I really understood. Finally I received two e-mails with pictures of what to do and I immediately understood.

I'm very happy with the software. There are so many presets and it's a breeze to go through them to enhance my pictures.

I highly recommend this product and service.

A very speedy and detailed response to my enquiry was greatly appreciated. The response addressed all of the issues in my question in an easy to understand format. Thank you

Great and responsive support, it takes them a couple of days to answer so don’t think they are ignoring you. Very positive experience.

The Photoshop presets I bought gave some amazing results without the long learning curve such complex adjustments normally require.
The installation was not as straightforward as it might have been but William and his staff responded within hours and got me up and running in no time.
You really learn a lot about a company when you need some support from them. A great product can be negated by crappy support. Luckily, William Patino Photography “gets” that.

Nice presets and easy to use in my mobile Lightroom app. It works great!

Professional photography editing tools for beginners as well as professional photographers. There's alot of photographers out there selling presets for photo editing but William has taken the editing tools to a whole new levels with the ai presets he offers. Make sure you try them out. It's not like any other presets you've tried. And last but not least, Great support from William if you have questions about his products.

Nice written ebook with lots of tip for learning photografi. Love it.

Great support and presets bought for photoshop.
I had an issue and it was quickly resolved when I made a typo on my mail. Really recommend this.

Will's calm authentic communication style and generous workshop contents raised my awareness that helped connect dots I never knew existed. The picture is getting clearer at so many levels!

Will, your effort , dedication and imparting your photography knowledge and processes had surpassing my expectations. I am really looking forward to learn more from you in next year New Zealand workshop.

William Patino's workshop was outstanding! His expertise and passion for photography were evident throughout, and I learned so much. The hands-on guidance and tips were invaluable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to improve their photography skills. Thank you, William, for an incredible experience!

Will has is a very accomplished and experienced photographer. He is very good at imparting his knowledge in a friendly and professional manner. My expectations were exceeded for both the 3 day workshop I attended and the 2 day my wife attended. We learned a lot about composition, what makes a great images and effective processing. We have signed up for Will's 7 day ultimate NZ workshop. I highly recommend his workshops to anyone who wants to take their photography to a new level and get a solid foundation for taking and processing epic images.

I have recently completed a 3 day seascape workshop in Kiama. It was a true learning experience. Will was very accommodating to the needs and skill level of the whole group. Thank you Will, for your time and knowledge.

I’ve just finished the June 2024 workshop and would absolutely recommend to anyone keen on photography.
A small group of six made it easy to learn from Will. We were taken to locations that not many other workshops would go to. Fitness level didn’t matter. Everything was so easy.
Editing sessions were Incorporated into the week with lots of useful tips.
Thanks Will for sharing your knowledge with us. I had the best time away and certainly feel that I learnt a lot.

Just came off a week's photo workshop with Will.
A more amiable gentlemen you will not come across.
Knew where to be at the right time every time and always with fallback options. Covered a multitude of landscape photography genres whilst avoiding the 'normal' photographers workshop tourist spots. If you want a small group, avoid the crowds and have intimate knowledge of the South Island then Will is the man to be with. If you want to photograph the Wanaka Tree with about 50 other people then choose somebody else.
Did I mention the post processing sessions too?

I just completed the Ultimate New Zealand Photo Tour with William Patino and had an absolutely amazing experience. As an avid photographer, I was looking for a comprehensive tour that would allow me to capture the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand, and this tour exceeded all of my expectations.

From the very beginning, the organization and communication from Will and Renee were top-notch. During the tour, the transportation, accommodations, and dining arrangements were all seamless, allowing us to focus on the photography.

But the true highlight was the access and guidance provided by Will himself. He brought us to iconic locations at the perfect times of day to make the most of the lighting and weather conditions. He was also incredibly generous in sharing his technical expertise and creative vision, helping us craft stunning images at every stop.

Whether it was the snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps, the sea stacks of the West Coast, or the lush temperate rainforests, every location on this tour was awe-inspiring. I came away with many images that I'm truly proud of, all thanks to Will's guidance and the incredible natural beauty of New Zealand.

If you're a passionate photographer looking to capture the essence of New Zealand and learn more about photography, I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. It was an unforgettable experience that has left me with memories and photographs that I will cherish for a lifetime.

Excellent photography tour with a very knowledgeable photographer. Will makes learning fun, easy and simple.
